In the 21st round of the Premier League, Chelsea drew 2-2 at home to Liverpool, Mane scored first, Salah extended the score, then Kovacic contributed to the world wave, Pulisic scored another goal, 2-2 in five minutes. A draw left both teams both sides with little chance of winning the Premier League, with second-placed Chelsea already 10 points away from Manchester City. The two teams can only fight for the Champions League!
As the focus of the Premier League battle in the early hours of this morning, both teams played in this game, and after the game began, both teams gave big gifts, but Liverpool grasped it. First, Liverpool gave a big gift, Arnold was blocked in the middle, Pulisic got the opportunity to face the goalkeeper, but when he was preparing to cross Kelleher, he was released by Kelleher in time, missing a good opportunity! Then chelsea returned the salute, Jota's diagonal pass was not a big threat, but Charloba chose a bad way to break the box, Mane broke the ball and swung past Mendy, playing empty to help Liverpool take the lead! This game can be said to have satisfied everyone's appetite, wonderful!
Salah and Kovacic scored in this match with spectacular goals and are expected to compete for the best goal!! Such a result also allowed Manchester City to reap the benefits and lead the table with a 10-point advantage. Personally, I think the first half of the game between the two teams can be called the best first half of the season, Liverpool this time less main goalkeeper main center-back even the head coach is gone, and then Mane and Salah went to play the African Cup of Nations, it is estimated that after returning to find that Manchester City has won the championship, Gbagbo Sports shows that the biggest suspense of the next Premier League may be the second place to spend who!
The reason why Lukaku was not arranged to play, according to British media reports, Chelsea manager Tuchel decided to punish Lukaku, excluding him from the big list against Liverpool and not even letting him sit on the bench. It all stemmed from a controversial interview in which the Belgian said he was uncomfortable at Chelsea and hinted at the possibility of returning to Inter. Although Lukaku has played a decisive role in the recent matches, Tuchel had to punish him due to the gravity of the situation. The German coach criticized Romelu Lukaku at a press conference, urging the latter to "work more and give less interviews."
Lukaku reportedly decided to give such an interview himself, without consulting his agent or the club. It is reported that Lukaku privately told the reporter who interviewed him that he only wants to return to China, is tired of London, tired of life in England, and wants to return to Inter. Gbagbo Sport (High-Water-Position 1.97) Lukaku's statement immediately angered Chelsea fans, who did not understand that at such an important time of the season, when the competition for the Premier League title was very difficult, the team's star had actually said that he was uncomfortable in the team.
Chelsea Liverpool shake hands, the gap between Chelsea and Manchester City has widened to 10 points, and Liverpool, who have one less game, are also 11 points behind Manchester City. Coupled with the impact of the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations, The probability of Manchester City winning the title has exceeded 90%, or even close to 100%. Based on past season experience, City highlighted in the second half of the season, and is currently leading so much that the possibility of making mistakes in the second half of the season is minimal. Even this season's champions and runners-up have at least 10 points or more, and Guardiola has really beaten the Premier League into the Bundesliga!
